TRANSFORM PHARMACEUTICALS (a Johnson & Johnson company in Lexington, Massachusetts) has a corporate mandate to reduce its energy costs and greenhouse emissions by seven percent in 2010. And it’s well on the way to doing just that.

In fact, the company’s 250kW solar thermal-assisted trigeneration system exceeds this goal.

The system was designed for Transform Pharmaceuticals and installed by Aircogen CHP Solutions (a Dresser-Rand strategic business unit, or SBU) in August 2008. At that time, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick commended Johnson & Johnson on its commitment to saving energy and contributing to the local economy, and to the project partners for supporting the state’s green energy initiative.

More recently (May 2009), Transform Pharmaceuticals was one of 10 organizations honored as a “Northeast Business Leader for Energy Efficiency” by Northeast Energy Efficiency Partnerships (NEEP). It was nominated by National Grid and was selected for recognition based upon several factors: its commitment to achieving energy savings through cost-effective energy efficiency investments; addressing comprehensive changes in major energy systems; improving energy performance through operational practices and management level support; and demonstrating leadership to advance energy efficiency.   download complete story PDF→
